There are so many different types of hops. There are also many styles. What are the differences? Do whole hops have more flavor compared to pellets? Or more bittering qualities? Sorry if this question has been posted before. I'm trying to bring together a really good IPA.
Also what are some good bittering hops and what are the good aroma hops?

You'll get a lot of varied opinions on both questions. Personally, I work almost exclusively with pellets, just because I find them easier to work with. Others will (and do) vary. I'd say it really depends on application; some feel that whole hops are better for dryhopping, whereas pellets are better for the actual boil. I use pellets for both with no problems.

Here is the recipe that I have been messing around with for a few weeks now. I have only brewed a few times but feel like I got a good hold on things.... Kinda. I have not brewed this yet. I brewed a IPA that I got from a local brew shop in town. It turned out really good. But I want to create something of my own. If you got any pointers let me hear them. I'm wanting a light amber color beer with a nice punch of hops and bitter.
I'm really wanting to make a honey IPA. Something that is slightly sweet.
